Went to 'the local' this morning on the way to the supermarket - didn't make it to the supermarket because I found so much at the op shop that I couldn't possibly carry the shopping as well so I had to go home again and venture out in the afternoon for the groceries.
Here is what I got (photos to come as my camera had flat batteries):
- Wide striped yellow/orange/red double sheet set from (I am guessing) the 70's. Made in America. Brand is Martex. BIL hates it. I love it.
- Bright yellow table cloth in similar shade to sheet set
- 10m of elastic
- 5m of forest green bias binding
- 5 cute red buttons
- Original (STILL IN THE PACKET!!!!!!) Japanese felt animal craft kit (including everything but the stuffing) circa 1960s.
- 4m length of fire engine red fleece
- 'Hit the pegs into the wood with a hammer' set for Missy Moo. (What do you call that anyway?)
- Wooden stacking/counting set for Missy Moo.
I bought the yellow table cloth and bed sheets to make this tie on baby-seat/chair sling and I have so much material that I think I will make a few more and give them to friends who are nice to me. (Who also happen to have babies otherwise it would be weird.....)
I want to make pants/sleeping bag/stroller foot muff for Missy Moo with this lovely red fleece.
Was so excited when I got home that I had to call my Mum and tell her about my loot. Hubby is not quite so appreciative of my quest for the perfect op-shop treasure.....
